Lillt bit of success so far

OH_matt

Well, I've been on MFP since the beginning of March. I've been really working on my diet and cutting out all the bad crap that I used to live on and replaced it with better foods. I had tried that in the past but it never really stuck for more than a couple weeks. As of now, I've been pretty good with it for almost 2 months (with a cheat day/snack here and there). Honestly, the past couple weeks have been really hectic so I haven't been as good as I should be, but I'm getting back on it now. I've had the most success I've had since my freshman year of college when I worked out with a Marine Recon drill instructor (that guy practically killed everyone). I'm down about 20 lbs and had quite a few NSV's so far.

1. Dropped from a 42 to a 40 in pants (and the 40's are loose on me coming out of the dryer)
2. Had to buy 2 new belts cuz I ran out of holes
3. I'm at that awkward stage in between shirt sizes where a 3X looks huge on me and a 2X is still a little tight. Now I just got to push to get all the way into a proper 2X.
4. I had a bunch of 2X shirts I bought several months ago that fit me for like a month or so then were too small. I kept them in the hopes of getting back into them, and a couple weeks ago I tried one on for S's & G's, and it fit again.
5. Softball season started up last weekend. Last time I played, I barely had the stamina to play an entire game and nearly passed out trying to run for more than a single. Last weekend, I had 2 singles, a triple (surprise my fat *kitten* could make it all the way to third), and played an entire game without getting more than slightly out of breath.

Here's a couple pics to show the little bit my gut and moobs has disappeared. The orange shirt is one of my 2X shirts. Now that things are settling down for me, I just got to get to the gym more and get more of this weight off.
